WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH
MARKS SAGE STALLONE’S DEATH
One hateful group is flouting Sylvester Stallone’s request for privacy
following the sudden death of his 36-year-old son, Sage. The
Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to picket the young
actor’s funeral because of his “adulterous dad.” Sylvester fathered
Sage while married to his first wife, Sasha Czack. Margie Phelps,
daughter of Westboro leader Fred Phelps, tweeted, “Thricemarried rebel taught his son to mock God. #picketfuneral.”
DO AS I SAY,
NOT AS I DO
House Democrats are mocking Republicans for voting
to repeal the Affordable Care Act in a new video that
shows Republicans such as GOP budget mastermind
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) saying that their votes had
nothing to do with protecting their own health care
benefits (the new law requires them to get on exchanges
to get a health plan along with other average Americans).
“House Republicans refuse to admit they voted to give
themselves taxpayer funded lifetime guaranteed health
care instead of having the same health care as their
constituents,” said Jesse Ferguson, spokesman for the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
OBAMA KISSES UP AFTER GETTING BOOED
President Obama played coy when the Kiss Cam settled on him and Michelle during the
basketball game between the U.S. and Brazil men’s Olympic teams in Washington, D.C.— and
voters weren’t happy. Boos filled the Verizon Center after the president “smiled,” but “didn’t
kiss” his wife, according to White House pool reports. The Obamas got a second chance to
smooch during the fourth quarter, and this time they made the popular decision, which was
captured and tweeted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Four more years!” the crowd cheered.
